CHANNING TATUM & JENNA DEWAN SPLIT AFTER ALMOST NINE YEARS OF MARRIAGE: Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum have announced their decision to separate after almost nine years of marriage. The 37-year-old actor and the 37-year-old actress and World of Dance host met on the set of Step Up in 2006 and got married in 2009. Channing and Jenna are the parents of a daughter named Everly, who will turn five next month. Just days ago, the whole family attended the Kids’ Choice Awards.

Taylor Swift has come to the defense of singer Hayley Kiyoko after some Swifties thought Hayley was dissing Taylor in a recent interview.

In a Refinery29 article, Hayley, who’s openly gay, said, “I’ve had several music industry execs say ‘You’re doing another music video about girls? I literally looked at them and was like, um, yeah … Taylor Swift sings about men in every single song and video, and no one complains that she’s unoriginal.”

Some Taylor fans took this as shade, but Taylor posted a comment on Tumblr indicating Hayley’s quote was being misinterpreted.

“We should applaud artists who are brave enough to tell their honest romantic narrative through their art, and the fact is that I’ve never encountered homophobia and she has,” Taylor wrote. “It’s her right to call out anyone who has double standards about gay vs straight love interests.”

After Taylor’s show of support, Hayley tweeted, “[Love] and respect to @taylorswift13 and all the brave artists out there sharing their truth with the world. I appreciate you. We keep climbing.”

Hayley released her debut album, Expectations, on Friday.

THE WEEKND WAS NOT GOING TO DONATE KIDNEY TO SELENA GOMEZ – (04/03/2018)

In the song “Call Out My Name,” from The Weeknd’s newly released EP, the singer hints that he almost donated his kidney to ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.

But a source tells Entertainment Tonight that simply isn’t true. Fans have been buzzing over the lyric in the song where The Weeknd sings, “I almost cut a piece of myself for your life/ Guess I was just another pit stop/ Til you made up your mind/ You just wasted my time.”

The source explains, “It’s just a lyric and he knew it would strum up attention and that people would interpret it exactly as they have, but he was never actually going to donate his kidney to Selena.”

Plus, according to the source, Selena would have “never, ever asked him.” Her best friend Francia Raisa ended up being her donor.

And, according to the source, Gomez and the singer’s 10-month relationship was not as serious as The Weeknd’s new album suggests. “To be honest, they were never as intense as he’s making it seem,” the source says. “”The Weeknd was always much more concerned with his career than his relationship. Selena leaned on friends and family during the surgery more than anyone.”
